My daughter called me yesterday. She went to the dentist and they pulled all her lower front teeth. Then when she went in to get her partial put in, the dentist said, "Now, you do realize these are just for looks and not for eating, don't you?" So she's supposed to take out the partial to eat. What??? She said she would have thought twice about getting the extraction if she had known that. What's with this? I think she should have been told ahead of time that she'd have to take them out. Now she feels too self-conscious to even eat out or have friends see her eat.
